    Negative comments from others about DCT

    I too was a manual shift purest. My friend dduelin had a NC DCT and let me ride it. I became a DCT fan and bought an NC700. I've tried to convert others without success. I offer to let then ride and they scoff at the idea. Sometimes you just can't help people. I am fortunate to have more than...

    Thinking of a California to Alaska trip

    I rode in from Spokane then took the ferry Columbia from Haines to Bellingham WA. I slept in my tent on the aft deck for the four night trip. The inner passage is more scenic than the ride in (IMHO). You get to exit the ferry on foot for a couple hours each day while they load/unload vehicles...

    Motorcycle Insurance for the NC700X in the USA

    There is no such thing as "full coverage" . I spent 22 years in the biz and we discouraged use of that term "Full coverage" because it implies everything is a covered loss. When you buy insurance you are transferring risk to the insurer. You can buy as much as you can afford. The most...

    Gustufsson Windshield

    There is a 2.5 inch aluminum dog leg shaped bracket with female threads that snaps into the back of the windshield mounting holes on the bike. I thought it was OEM. I bought the bike used with a MRA Vario on it. Having had three different shields makes me wonder if I have after market mounting...

    Gustufsson Windshield

    The windshield does not come with mounting hardware. I used what was already on the bike including the oem nut plate. I added a rubber washer between the shield and the nut plate

    Gustufsson Windshield

    I tried a MRA Vario, Vstream on a palmer bracket and a Madstad 18 with winglets. The Madstad was the best of the three, but still not quite right for me. I'm 5'8" and have average body dimensions. I finally found a better windshield at Gustufssons Plastics St. Augustine FL. Their web site is...

    Considering the NC700x. Currently on a PC800

    I had an NT700 and sold it when I bought the NC700 DCT. I have previously owned a PC800. I like the NC but missed the wind protection of the NT so I bought another NT and kept the NC as well. If you have room and $$ get both. I bought a 2011 NT700 ABS with 21,000 miles for $3,300 a year ago...

    Fork Oil.

    Dang Dave, that is a wide range of information. You went from fluid dynamics engineering (fork oil) to shade tree mechanic with the home made chain lube. Once again very useful information. Please keep it coming. :cool:

    "Does engine oil get old and go bad?"

    The article makes sense to me. However, we will never see a consensus opinion on the subject of "Motor Oil".

    Pirelli Angel GT tires

    Recommend PSI is 42 and that what I used every time I checked pressure. I was looking at the mileage again and it is only 7000. I have a Bridgestone Battlax BT023 on the front with 8500 miles on it 36 psi no cupping but ready to be changed. I will buy a pair of PR5’s.

    Pirelli Angel GT tires

    I have an Angel GT on the rear. Handling was good but is cord showing down the center at 7500 miles. I weigh 190 in full gear and never ride double. I inflate to recommended pressure. I'm disappointed with the mileage. Very surprised by how quickly it went from worn to worn out. I am going with...
